Shameless stealing of Mechanics!

This prototype was developed by studying the game Super Metroid. The design of the movement, level design, and combat attempt to uncover the strength of those mechanics found in other titles. Super Metroid features a very complex combat system which incorporates a great deal of control over the player’s vertical space and position. The high level of control by the player over this allows enemies and weapons to directly challenge this fact and forces the player to improve in skill throughout the game.
